New  Racine  Threshers 

Simplicity  the  Keynote  of  New  Racine  Threshers :     The  simplicity  of  the  outfit     i 
is  one  of  its  strong  points,  while  at  the  same  time  the  requirements  of  the  individual  farmer 
are  met  in  every  respect.     The  New  Racine  is  light,  of  good  capacity,  and  has  comparatively 
few  parts  to  get  out  of  order. 

Of  a  Practical  Design  :  It  is  equipped  with  a  cylinder  that  insures  thorough  and  com- 
plete threshing  of  all  kinds  of  grain;  strong  concaves,  straw  racks  of  a  design  which  insures 
satisfactory  separation,  and  a  cleaning  apparatus  which  cleans  thoi-oughly. 

Runs  Smoothly  and  Will  Wear  Long :  The  New  Racine  thresher  runs  easily  and 
smoothly,  due  to  a  minimum  of  friction  during  operation.  All  the  shafts  have  long  bearings 
and  babbitted  self-aligning  boxes  with  ample  oiling  facilities. 

Air-Dried  Lumber  Used  in  Construction  :  The  lumber  used  is  thoroughly  air-dried. 
Air-dried  lumber  is  the  only  kind  that  should  ever  be  used  in  constructing  a  thresher,  as  kiln- 
dried  lumber  will  stand  the  elements  for  only  a  short  time.  All  wood  parts  of  the  New  Racine 
thresher  subject  to  wear  are  lined  with  sheet  steel. 

Capacity :    The  capacity  of  a  thresher  depends  to  a  great  extent  on  the  kind  and  quan- 
tity of  power  used;  yield  of  grain  as  compared  to  the  quantity  of  straw;  kind,  size,  and  con- 
dition of  straw,  and  skill  of  the  operators.     The  yield  of  grain  and  the  size  and  condition  of      J 
straw  vary  greatly  for  different  localities,  and  even  in  the  same  locality  in  different  seasons.        | 
The  table  below  gives  the  average  capacity  per  hour  of  the  different  sizes  of  New  Racine 
threshers  in  average  conditions  of  straw  and  grain.

Adaptable  for  Pea  and  Bean  Threshing :  The  New  Racine  thresher,  with  only  a 
few  changes,  can  be  used  for  threshing  peas  or  beans.  The  cylinder  speed  is  reduced  about 
one-half  and  special  pulleys,  concaves  and  screens  are  used.  These  parts  are  not  furnished 
with  the  regular  machine. 

Clover  Attachment :  The  clover  attachment  consists  of  three  special  concaves,  each 
having  three  rows  of  corrugated  teeth,  also  a  special  clover  sieve. 

How  to  Order  a  New  Racine  Thresher:  Be  sure  to  give  the  size  wanted;  also,  if 
an  18  or  24-foot  folding  rake  stacker,  grain  elevator,  bagger,  weigher,  wind  stacker  with 
telescoping  pipe,  hand  feed  attachment,  self-feeder,  or  brake,  is  desired.  Be  very  careful  to 
state  clearly  the  speed  of  the  engine  and  the  size  of  the  drive  pulley  to  be  used  in  operating, 
so  that  the  thresher  can  be  properly  equipped  with  the  correct  size  of  pulley  to  insure  the 
proper  speed  of  the  threshing  cylinder.

Main  Frame  is  Strongly  Built  to  Withstand  Twisting  Strains :  The  frame  of  the 
New  Racine  is  specially  designed  and  substantially  built  to  withstand  the  heaviest  strains  to 
which  it  will  be  subjected.  The  silh  are  wide  and  thick.  The  posts  are  set  at  the  points  of 
greatest  strain  and  the  thresher  is  well  braced  crosswise.  All  posts,  sills,  caps,  and  rai^s  have 
snugly  fitted  mortise  and  tenon  joints,  secured  by  strong  joint  bolts.  The  lining  of  '  s  inch 
boards  throughout  the  thresher  adds  greatly  to  its  durability. 

The  frame  of  the  New  Racine  is  offset,  insuring  maximum  strengh  without  making  the 
machine  too  clumsy  or  too  heavy  for  moving  readily  from  place  to  place.  By  using  an  offset 
sill  in  framing,  much  the  same  effect  is  arrived  at  as  in  bridge  construction  where  different 
lengths  are  put  together  to  make  a  truss. 

Cast  Iron  Brackets  Strengthen  Frame :  All  cross-beams  are  rigidly  secured  to  the 
main  frame  by  means  of  strong  cast  iron  brackets.  There  is  consequently  no  chance  for  the 
frame  to  sag,  no  matter  how  much  strain  may  be  put  on  it  while  the  thresher  is  in  operation. 

Deck  Sheds  Water  Quickly  -.  The  deck  has  the  necessary  pitch  to  shed  water  quickly 
and  the  interior  parts  are  therefore  protected  and  swelling  of  the  wood  stock  prevented.  The 
interior  is  very  easy  of  access,  as  the  three  covers  on  the  machine  can  be  quickly  removed. 
Only  the  best  grade  of  selected  air-dried  and  seasoned  hardwood  lumber  is  used  in  the  con- 
struction of  the  New  Racine  thresher. 

Trucks :  The  front  trucks  are  attached  to  the  malleable  iron  bolster  by  means  of  a  ball- 
and-socket  connection.  The  bolster  in  turn  is  rigidly  bolted  to  the  sills  of  the  frame.  Heavy 
channel  steel  braces  forestall  any  possibility  of  the  front  trucks  buckling. 

Channel  Steel  Axles :  All  axles  used  in  the  New  Racine  thresher  are  of  the  best  (juality 
of  bridge  channel  steel  and  are  strong  enough  to  easily  sustain  the  full  weight  of  the  thresher 
with  all  its  attachments. 

The  thresher  is  very  easily  turned  in  a  small  space  as  the  offset  frame  allows  the  front  axle 
to  cramp  around  under  the  machine. 

Wide  Rimmed  Wheels  :  The  steel  wheels  have  wide  rims  which  permit  easy  going  oyer 
soft  roads  or  ground.  The  round  spokes  are  set  staggered  and  riveted  into  the  hub  and  rim. 
Hard  oilers  have  been  provided. 

Steel  Open  Bar  Cylinder :  The  steel  cylinder  is  of  the  open  bar  type  which  is  gen- 
erally accepted  as  the  best  cylinder  to  use  in  large  capacity  threshers.  The  tooth  bars  are 
securely  connected  to  the  heads  of  the  cylinder. 

The  cylinder  shaft  is  made  of  heavy  machine  steel,  and  runs  in  extra  long  bearings  of  the 
ball-and-socket  self-aligning  type.  The  best  quality  of  frictionless  babbitt  metal,  accurately 
scraped  and  snuglv  fitted  to  the  shaft,  insures  smooth  and  easy  running.  Hard  oilers  of  large 
size  with  screw  covers  are  used  for  lubricating  purposes.  The  cylinder  is  supported  within  a 
heavy  iron  frame  which  is  securely  bolted  to  the  framing  timbers  and  sillof  the  thresher  body. 
The  iron  sides  of  this  frame  are  strongly  braced  by  steel  rods.

Cylinder  Diameters  and  Speeds :    The  24x40"  thresher  is  equipped  with  a  threshing 
cylinder  18'-"  in  diameter,  while  the  28x48",  32x52",  and  36x56"  machines  have  a  cylinder 
i    22V-"  in  diameter. 

The  cylinder  speed  for  the  24x40"  size  should  be  between  1,275  and  1,300  R.  P.  M.  The 
28x48",  32x52",  and  36x56"  sizes,  should  have  a  cylinder  speed  of  from  1,075  to  1,100  R.  P.  M. 
When  these  speeds  are  closely  followed,  the  machine  will  do  its  best  work. 

Steel  Teeth  Combine  Toughness  and  Hardness  in  the  Highest  Degree:  The  cylin- 
der teeth  in  the  New  Racine  are  made  from  a  special  grade  of  steel,  and  without  being  brittle, 
are  sufficiently  hard  to  withstand  successfully  all  wear  and  hard  work  to  which  they  may  be 
subjected.  They  are  secured  to  the  tooth  bars  by  nut  and  lock  spring  washers  and  the  holes 
fit  the  shanks  of  the  teeth  perfectly. 

To  insure  easy  feeding,  proper  at- 
tention has  been  given  to  the  angle  at 
which  the  concaves  are  set  and  to  the 
shape  of  the  teeth.  Easy  feeding  is 
always  desirable,  especially  when  the 
feeding  is  done  by  hand.  The  cylin- 
der and  concave  teeth  on  the  24x40" 
New  Racine  thresher  are  interchange- 
able, being  of  one  size  and  shape.  The 
style  of  the  cylinder  teeth  used  in  New 
Racine  thresher  cylinders  are  shown  at 
the  right. 

The  teeth  on  the  three  larger  sizes 
—28x48",  32x52"  and  36x56"  are  some- 
what heavier  and  longer  than  on  the 
24x40"  thresher.  This  is  on  account  of 
the  big  quantities  of  grain  which  pass 
through  the  larger  machines  and  their 
greater  capacity.  As  can  be  seen  in 
the  illustration  on  the  right,  this  tooth 
is  heavier  and  thicker  with  a  strong 
shoulder  and  an  extra  heavy  shank. 
Note  also  the  deep  thread  which  per- 
mits an  unusually  secure  fastening  of 
the  large  square  nut.  The  teeth  and 
nuts  are  shown  actual  size. 

The  cylinder  teeth  on  the  larger 
sizes  are  interchangeable  with  the  con- 
cave teeth  on  the  same  machines. 


A  tooth  set  is  furnished  with  each 


machine.

Concaves  and 
grate 


Concaves  and  Grate: 

New  Racine  threshers  are  fit- 
ted with  space  for  three  con- 
caves. All  machines  are 
equipped  with  two  concaves 
filled  with  teeth  and  one  with- 
out teeth,  and  with  two  steel 
concave  grates.  This  equip- 
ment gives  all  the  range  that 
is  necessary  to  thoroughly 
thresh  the  grain  from  the  straw 
under  various  conditions.  The 
concave  teeth  are  of  heavy  de- 
sign and  are  bolted  securely, 
insuring  strength  and  reducing 
the  liability  of  breakage  to  a 
minimum.  Directly  behind  the  concaves  is  a  grate  which  extends  rearward  and  upward  un- 
der the  beater.  Here  also  large  openings  are  made  so  that  early  separation  can  be  accomplished. 
Nearly  all  of  the  grain  is  separated  just  back  of  the  cylinder.  By  allowing  a  large  grate  area, 
much  of  the  grain  that  would  otherwise  mix  with  the  straw  is  saved. 

The  Winged  Beater  has  the  Action  of  a  Flail:  The  condition  of  the  straw  after 
passing  through  the  concaves  is  such  that  with  proper  handling  the  best  results  can  be  secured 
with  the  winged  beater,  which  is  one  of  the  best  and  most  effective  devices  known  for  its 
purpose.  This  type  beater  has  shown  a  superior  efficiency  in  securing  quick  results  in  all  con- 
ditions and  kinds  of  grain.  It  has  a  three  winged  concave  construction  and  in  action  is  similar 
to  that  of  a  flail  as  it  beats  the  kernels  of  the  grain  down  through  the  thin  layer  of  straw  onto 
the  conveyor.  The  beater  is  set  close  to  the  cylinder  teeth  and  in  such  a  position  as  to  dimin- 
ish the  possibilty  of  loose  straw  wrapping  or  winding  around  the  cylinder  as  is  frequently  the 
case  where  the  beater  is  set  at  some  distance  from  it. 

A  Good  Beater  is  Important :  The  value  of  a  good  beater  cannot  be  over-estimated. 
To  give  the  best  results  it  must  be  designed  so  that  it  will  force  the  grain  out  of  the  straw  and 
do  it  in  the  most  rapid  manner  possible.     In  this  respect  the  New  Racine  is  well  equipped. 

Adjustable  Check 
Flap  Prevents  Loss  of 
Grain  at  Rear  :  Just  back 
of  the  beater  is  a  sheet  steel 
check  flap  to  keep  the  stray 
kernels  from  being  thrown 
out  at  the  rear  of  the  ma- 
chine and  to  hold  or  retard 
the  movement  of  dry  and 
brittle  straw.  The  size  of 
the  opening  can  be  easily 
adjusted  from  the  outside 
by  simply  raising  or  lower- 
ing this  check  flap. 

The  Four  Section 
Straw  Rack  Gives  Four 
Breaks  to   the   Straw : 

The  straw  rack  in  the  New 
Racine  thresher  is  made 
in  four  parts,  occupying 
the    entire    width    of    the

machine.  It  is  set  on  two 
crank  sliafts,  one  at  the  front, 
and  the  other  near  the  rear. 
The  cranks  are  set  on  "quar- 
ters" or  at  an  angle  of  90 
degrees  from  each  other,  and 
therefore,  hke  the  drivers  of  a 
locomotive,  balance  each  other 
without  having  a  dead  center. 
A  perfect  balance  is  assured 
by  this  system.  Each  rack 
has  an  independent  circular 
motion  and  as  each  is  provided 
with  four  risers,  the  straw  is 
given  four  breaks.  As  each 
rack  is  constantly  moving  at  a 
different  level  from  the  other 
three,  the  straw  not  only 
moves  forward  but  is  also  agi- 
tated sideways. 

A  Lateral  Break  in  the 
Straw  Means  Better  Sep- 
aration :  Many  of  the  thresh- 
ers now  in  use  have  no  lateral 
break  in  the  straw  and  conse- 
quently poor  separation  of 
grain  and  straw  is  the  result. 
The  straw  rack  in  the  New 
Racine  is  built  to  insure  this 
lateral  break.  It  excels  in  that 
it  not  only  breaks  the  straw 
lengthwise,  but  also  crosswise. 

Grain  Conveyor  and  Return  Pan :  The  grain  conveyor  on  the  New  Racine  extends 
the  lull  length  of  the  machnie  from  the  front  to  the  rear.  Under  the  rear  part  of  the  straw 
rack  and  above  the  conveyor  sieve,  or  chaffer  as  it  is  more  commonly  called,  is  the  return  pan. 

The  work  of  the  return  pan  is  to  carry  forward  to  the  grain  conveyor  such  straw  chaff 
or  grain  as  falls  through  the  straw  rack  so  that  it  may  be  acted  upon  by  the  blast  from  the 
tan.     It  also  helps  to  separate  and  disintegrate  the  mass  delivered  to  the  grain  conveyor. 

.  Clean  Grain  Assured :  While  being  carried  along  over  the  sieve  and  extension  the 
gram  easily  falls  through,  and  the  short  straw  and  chaff  pass  on  over  it  and  out  at  the  rear  of 
the  thresher.

Shoe  has  Good  Movement:  The  shoe  on  the  New 
Racine  has  an  end  shake  and  a  movement  in  perfect  harmony 
with  the  grain  conveyor  and  return  pan.  The  shoe  and 
return  pan  work  against  the  conveyor,  an  even  balance  being 
thus  assured.  The  cleaning  of  the  grain  is  also  improved 
and  the  capacity  of  the  machine  materially  increased. 

The  conveyor  or  chaffer  sieve  on  the  24x40"  is  of  the 
Closz  &  Howard  No-Choke  type.  On  the  three  larger  sizes 
it  is  of  the  Closz  &  Howard  adjustable  type.  With  the  latter, 
the  size  of  the  opening  can  be  adjusted  while  the  thresher  is 
still  in  motion  by  the  simple  movement  of  a  lever. 

The  adjustable  conveyor  sieve  is  furnished  at  a  slight 
additional  cost.

thresher  slEes 


Sieves  Do  Their  Work  Well :  The  sieves  in  the  New  Racine  thresher  are  popular 
because  of  their  large  and  thorough  grain  cleaning  capacity,  and  the  distinct  saving  of  many 
dollars  to  the  farmer  each  season. 

The  cleaning  takes  place  when  the  blast  from  the  fan  is  brought  to  bear  on  the  grain 
through  the  openings  in  the  sieve.  By  directing  the  blast  from  the  fan  through  the  sieves, 
the  grain  is  cleaned  in  a  more  thorough  manner  than  when  any  other  system  is  employed, 
while  at  the  same  time,  the  possibility  of  blowing  grain  over  into  the  tailings  is  greatly 
reduced.  Should  any  grain  be  blown  over  the  shoe  sieves  it  is  caught  up  by  the  tailings  auger 
and  elevator,  returned  to  the  cylinder,  and  again  sent  on  its  way  through  the  thresher. 

Sieve  Equipment :  The  following  sieves  are  regularly  furnished  with  the  New  Racine 
24x40"  size, — 1  No-Choke  oat  sieve,  1  No-Choke  wheat,  barley,  or  rye  sieve,  1  perforated  zinc 
wheat  sieve,  1  wire  flax  sieve,  and  1  wire  shoe  screen.  Each  sieve  is  38  inches  long  and  the 
full  width  of  the  machine.     When  so  desired,  special  sieves  can  be  suppHed. 


Sieves      Regular  equipment  for  24x40' 


Extra  Sieves:  To  the  regular  equip- 
ment of  the  larger  sizes  of  threshers,  two 
extra  sieves  for  threshing  flax,  clover,  millet, 
etc.,  will  be  added  without  extra  charge  if  so 
desired  by  the  purchaser.  The  purpose  for 
which  these  sieves  will  be  used  should  be 
clearly  stated  in  the  order,  so  that  the  correct 
sieves  may  be  sent.  Where  more  than  two 
extra  sieves   are  wanted,  a  charge  is  made. 

With  the  28x48",  32x52",  and  36x56"  sizes, 
the  adjustable  conveyor  and  adjustable  shoe 
sieve  are  regularly  furnished.  A  quick  adjust- 
ment of  the  sieve  can  be  made  while  the 
thresher  is  in  operation.  When  an  adjustable 
shoe  sieve  is  desired  in  the  24x40"  machine,  it 
is  furnished  in  place  of  the  regular  equipment.

Under  blast  Fan  and  Adjustable  Wind 
Blinds :  To  secure  the  best  results  in  clean- 
ing the  grain  in  a  thresher,  it  is  absokitely 
necessary  that  the  cleaning-  process  would 
begin  as  soon  as  possible  after  entering  the 
machine.  Inasmuch  as  the  fan  on  the  New 
Racine  thresher  is  of  the  underblast  type 
and  located  in  the  front  end  of  the  machine, 
the  cleaning  of  the  grain  begins  at  the  prop- 
er point  to  secure  the  best  results.  On  both 
sides  of  the  fan  are  blinds  for  regulating  the 
blast  which  can  be  easily  adjusted  while  the 
machine  is  in  motion.  The  wind-board  which 
is  also  provided,  can  be  easily  adjusted.  The 
blast  from  the  fan  catches  the  chaff  and 
raises  it  up  over  the  sieves  to  the  rear  end  of 
the  machine  as  soon  as  the  grain  and  chaff 
fall  from  the  conveyor  and  the  return-pan 
under  the  rack.     This  serves  to  prevent  the  banking  of  chaff  and  grain  in  the  shoe. 

.  ^'*'.^^^  ?°^f^  Transmission  for  Fan :  By  means  of  a  belt,  the  power  for  the  fan  is 
transmitted  dn-ect  from  the  cylinder  shaft.  The  fan  shaft  runs  in  well-babbitted  boxes  with 
long,  seli-alignmg  bearings. 

Quality  Shafting  and  Bearings :  Good  shafting  and  bearings,  in  a  threshing  machine 
are  features  which  cannot  very  well  be  ignored.  A  great  deal  depends  upon  the  quality  and 
proper  adjustment  of  these  important  parts. 

The  crank  shafts  in  the  New  Racine  are  of  forged  steel,  and  turned  in  a  lathe  to  an  accu- 
rate size^  The  fan,  beater  and  auger  shafts  are  of  cold-drawn  steel  and  the  bearings  for 
these  different  shafts  are  all  of  the  self-aligning  ball-and-socket  type,  well  babbitted  with  non- 
friction  metal,  which  reduces  any  possibility  of  heating  from  improper  setting. 

Hard  Oilers :  All  bearings,  where  necessary,  are  provided  with  hard  oilers,  fitted  with 
screw  covers  to  keep  out  dirt  and  dust. 


Oak  Tanned  Leather  Belts 

this  belting  being  of  the  proper 
width  and  thickness  to  trans- 
mit all  the  power  necessary  to 
give  the  required  speed  to  the 
various  parts  of  the  machine. 

Covered  Pulleys:      All 

pulleys  having  small  diameters 
and  fast  speeds  are  covered 
with  leather  to  give  the  belt  a 
good  grip  and  insure  uniform 
speed  of  different  parts. 

Belt  Tighteners  adjust- 
able  during   Operation: 

Belt  tighteners  have  been  pro- 
vided and  so  devised  that  the 
tightening  can  be  done  while 
the  machine  is  in  operation. 
They  are  also  equipped  with 
ample  oiling  facilities. 


Only  the  best  grade  of  oak  tanned  leather  belting  is  used.

Grain  Register :  The  grain  register  should  be  used  when  weigher,  grain  elevator,  or 
bagger  is  not  furnished  with  the  machine.  The  grain  is  conveyed  from  the  grain  auger  shaft 
direct  into  the  half-bushel  measure.  Each  bushel  of  grain  is  registered  by  the  tallying  device 
or  register,  which  indicates  up  to  1,000  bushels.  The  box  is  made  of  hard  wood,  reinforced 
with  heavy  battens.     It  is  furnished  as  an  extra. 

The  half-bushel  measures  are  of  heavy  gauge  galvanized  sheet  steel,  and  graduated  every 
one-fourth  bushel.     They  are  furnished  on  special  order  only. 


Folding  Rake  Stacker :  The  New  Racine  can  be  equipped  with  an  18  ft.  or  a  24  ft. 
folding  rake  stacker,  as  ordered.  The  width  is  nearly  the  same  as  that  of  the  machine.  It  is 
driven  by  a  chain  from  the  rear  straw  rack  crank.  This  stacker  can  be  very  easily  folded  out 
of  the  way  when  not  in  use  as  it  is  hinged  in  the  center  for  this  purpose.  When  folded, 
it  adds  very  little  to  the  length  of  the  machine.  It  can  be  raised  or  lowered  with  ease  by 
means  of  a  convenient  wind- 
lass on  the  deck. 

The  apron  consists  of 
strong  rubber  belts  to  which 
wood  slats  12  inches  apart  are 
securely  riveted.  Sideboards 
and  a  windboard  are  also  fur- 
nished. 

Weigher  with  Swinging 
Conveyor :  This  weigher 
has  a  very  durable  construc- 
tion. Both  elevator  and  con- 
veyor are  made  of  steel.  The 
conveyor  can  be  swung  across 
the  deck  of  the  separator  and 
be  made  to  deliver  grain  into 
wagons  on  either  side  of  the 
machine  at  such  a  distance 
that  there  is  no  danger  of 
backing  into  the  separator. 
See  page  4. 

Weigher  with  Station- 
ary Conveyor  and  Wagon 
Spout:  This  attachment  is 
built  entirely  of  steel.  The 
weighing  device  is  very  accu- 
rate in  registering  the  amount 
of  grain  threshed.  The  eleva- 
tor can  be  lengthened  or  short- 
ened as  desired.  The  conveyor 
has  a  telescope  wagon  spout 
at  each  side  of  the  separator, 
the  spouts  being  sufficiently 
long  so  that  they  can  be  swung 
from  one  wagon  to  the  other. 
The  flow  of  grain  may  be 
changed  from  one  side  of  the 
separator  to  the  other  by  mov- 
ing a  lever.     This  attachment 

is  shown  on  Dace  6  showing  drive  pulley,  belt  guide,  drtve  for  shoe  crank,  and  steady  arm

Grain    Elevator   with   Long   Swinging 
Spout:     This  attachment  is  of  steel,   and  ex- 
tends high   above  the  deck   of  the  separator. 
The  grain  is  delivered  through  a  long  spout  into 
bins,  a  wagon  or  sacks  on  either  side  of  the 
machine.     The  spout  can  be  adjusted  from  the 
lower  end.  and  remains  in  the  position  in  which 
it  is  placed.     It  has  a  cut-off  at  the  lower  end  to 
stop  the  flow  of  grain  while  changing  the  wagons. 
A  rest  is  furnished  to  support  the  elevator  when 
folded.    This  attachment  can  be  seen  on  page  9. 
Short  Elevator  and  Bagger:     This  handy  device  is  a  small,  compact,  steel  mechanism 
which  is  attached  to  either  side  of  the  separator  as  ordered.     This  attachment  is  very  popular 
where  the  grain  is  sacked  on  the  ground  or  in  barns. 

Feeders  :  New  Racine  threshers  are  equipped  with  the  well-known  Ruth  and  Lindsay 
feeders,  the  Lindsay  being  used  on  the  24x40"  thresher  only.  When  these  feeders  are  used, 
the  thresherman  is  assured  of  good  work.  They  lessen  the  labor  and  cost  of  threshing^  by 
reducing  the   help   generally  required,   and  make  possible  a  uniform  feed  to  the  cylmder.

Ruth  Feeder  Insures  a  Bal- 
anced Strain  on  the  Cylinder : 

Where  the  Ruth  feeder  is  used, 
every  band  is  cut  and  every  bundle 
thoroughly  loosened  up  and  pulled 
apart  before  it  can  pass  tc  the 
separator  cylinder.  A  center  divid- 
ing board  keeps  the  bundles  straight 
and  also  keeps  two  rows  of  bundles 
moving  toward  the  cylinder  at  all 
times,  thus  insuring  a  balanced 
strain  on  the  cylinder. 

Does  Not  Slug  the  Cylinder: 

The  Ruth  feeds  the  grain  without 
slugging  the  cylinder  or  loosening 
the  teeth.  Slugging  the  separator 
causes  a  certain  amount  of  grain  to 
be  lost  in  the  stack,  besides  break- 
ing the  cylinder  teeth  and  concaves, 
burning  expensive  belts,  and  short- 
ening the  life  of  the  threshing  outfit. 

A  Sensitive  Governor:  The  Pickering  governor  used  on  the  Ruth  feeder  is  very 
sensitive.  Whenever  the  feeder  cylinder  falls  below  the  proper  speed,  the  governor  operates 
the  trip  lever  which  stops  the  raddle  until  the  mass  of  grain  is  disposed  of  by  the  feeder 
cylinder.  The  governor  then  permits  the  raddle  to  run.  The  Ruth  feeder  has  proved  excep- 
tionally satisfactory  in  controlling  or  regulating  the  feed. 

Lindsay  Feeder.  Sheet-Iron  Lining  Prevents  Wear  on  Woodwork :  The  Lindsay 
feeder,  like  the  Ruth,  is  very  simply  constructed.  The  frame  is  of  wood,  and  all  lumber  is 
kiln  dried.     Most  of  the  castings  are  malleable.     The  shafting  is  of  cold  rolled  steel,  and  not

Lindsay  feeder— wood  frame,  used  on  24x40"  ttiresher  only 


and  made  in  halves  so  that  the  wear  can  be 
easily  taken  up.  The  interior  of  the  feeder 
is  lined  with  sheet  iron  to  prevent  the  grain 
from  wearing  away  the  woodwork. 

The  Steel  Knives  are  Tenipered  in 

Oil :  The  band-cutter  knives  are  of  high 
crucible  steel,  highly  tempered  in  oil.  They 
are  serrated  like  a  sickle,  and  are  much  su- 
perior in  qualityto  com- 
mon sickle  sections. 
These  knives  revolve 
at  the  rate  of  275  revo- 
lutions per  minute.  An 
extra  set  is  furnished 
with  each  feeder,  so  as 
to  save  loss  of  time  in 
re-sharpening.  While 
a  dull  set  is  being 
sharpened,  a  sharp  set 
can  be  running.  The 
knives  of  the  Lindsay 
feeder  are  guaranteed 
by  their  manufacturers 
not  to  take  up  straw 
and  not  to  wind.

The  New  Racine  Jr.  thresher  is  practically  a  duplicate  of  the  larger  New  Racine  threshers, 
differing  only  in  size,  equipment,  and  the  shell,  which  is  of  galvanized  iron  instead  of  wood. 
They  both  have  the  same  interior  construction  of  parts  and  are  both  equally  satisfactory  in 
their  work.  It  is  made  in  one  size  only— 20"  cylinder  and  32"  rear,  and  can  be  had 
mounted  on  an  individual  truck  or  mounted  on  special  long  truck  together  with  an  I  H  C  8  H.  P. 
Titan  oil  engine.  The  New  Racine  Jr.  will  thresh  35  to  60  bushels  of  wheat  and  70  to  120 
bushels  of  oats  per  hour,  depending  on  conditions.  This  small,  light  thresher  has  been  designed 
and  built  to  make  its  owner  independent  of  conditions  which  are  undesirable  because  they 
often  make  large  inroads  on  his  profits.     For  instance  — 

He  Can  Thresh  as  Soon  as  His  Grain  is  Right :  He  can  follow  the  binder  with  the 
thresher  and  get  his  grain  out  of  the  way  as  soon  as  it  is  in  the  right  condition  to  be  threshed. 
He  is  not  compelled  to  wait  for  a  busy  thresherman. 

If  He  Sells  His  Grain,  He  Can  Make  Bigger  Profits  and  Can  be  Sure  of  Early  Ship- 
ments :  By  threshing  early  and  getting  his  grain  to  market  while  the  big  majority  are  wait- 
ing for  the  thresherman  this  is  made  possible.     He  also  commands  a  higher  price  for  his  grain, 

and  gets  his  money  quickly. 

He  Can  Start  His  Plowing  Earlier :  Early  threshing  means  that  his  land  is  cleared  of 
the  shocks  quicker,  so  that  plowing  can  commence  within  a  short  period  after  the  harvest. 

He  Saves  a  Good  Sum  on  the  Threshing  Operation  :  It  is  not  necessary  to  use  a 
large  threshing  crew.  The  farmer  can  thresh  with  his  own  help  whenever  he  is  ready.  No 
long  waits  when  a  New  Racine  Jr.  is  standing  in  the  barn. 

Small  Cost :  While  the  cost  of  a  large  thresher  is  almost  prohibitive  for  a  mountainous 
region,  or  where  ^mall  farms  are  the  rule,  the  New  Racine  Jr.  is  exceptionally  well  suited  for 
individual  use  without  costing  more  than  the  small  farmer  can  afl:'ord  to  pay.  Where  two 
farmers  clul)  together  for  the  purchase  of  a  New  Racine  Jr.  Thresher  outfit,  the  cost  of  each 
is  still  further  reduced. 


The  New  Racine  Jr.  has  a  substantial  frame,  rigidly  braced     The  sides  of  the  thresher  are  of  galvanized  iron

The  New  Racine  Jr.  is  Light  and  Convenient :  The  New  Racine  Jr.  is  comparatively 
light  in  weight,  is  easy  to  haul  around  where  large  outfits  cannot  penetrate.  It  can  be  safely 
hauled  across  bridges  where  the  ordinary  heavy  thresher  outfit  cannot  possibly  pass  without 
a  great  deal  of  trouble. 

An  Ideal  Machine  for  a  Hilly  Country  :  Its  convenience  for  use  in  hilly  country  where 
roads  are  not  always  the  best,  and  sometimes  quite  steep,  is  a  fact  which  should  strongly 
appeal  to  farmers  living  in  these  localities. 

The  New  Racine  Jr.  Thresher-Engine  Combination  Outfit :  The  New  Racine  .Jr. 
combination  threshing  outfit,  consisting  of  a  2U  x  32  inch  New  Racine  Jr.  thresher  mounted  on 
a  truck  with  an  I  H  C  Titan  8-H.  P.  hopper-cooled  oil  engine  is  a  most  practical  threshing 
combination.  After  the  farmer  is  through  threshing,  he  can  dismount  the  thresher  and  by 
moving  the  rear  trucks  forward  under  the  main  sill,  make  it  a  portable  engine.  The  engine 
can  then  be  hauled  around  to  various  jobs  where  power  is  required  to  do  the  work  which  the 
hired  man  would  otherwise  be  compelled  to  do. 

The  Combination  Outfit  Saves  Fuel :  The  I  H  C  Titan  8-H.  P.  horizontal  hopper- 
cooled  oil  engine  furnished  with  the  New  Racine  Jr.  combination  outfit  is  regularly  fitted  for 
operating  on  such  cheap  fuels  as  kerosene,  solar  oil,  gas  oil,  and  distillate  down  to  39"  Beaume. 
It  will  operate  equally  well  on  gasoline,  motor  spirit,  benzine,  and  naphtha. 

Engine  Equipment :  It  is  equipped  for  running  with  the  following  accessories — 26  inch 
pulley  with  a  face  10'  i  inches  wide,  one  square  galvanized  fuel  tank,  one  muffler,  one  tool 
box,  oil  can,  one  can  of  lubricating  oil,  and  necessary  tools.

Short  Elevator  and  Bagger :    A  short  elevator  and  bagger  can  be  furnished   which 
attaches  to  either  side  of  the  thresher  and  on  the  left  side  only  of  the  thresher  when  mounted 
on  the  combination  truck.     This  attachment  is  very  popular  where  the  grain  is  sacked  on  the 
)    ground  or  in  barns. 

Wagon  Elevator  with  Long  Swinging  Spout :  A  wagon  elevator  with  a  long  swing- 
ing spout  can  also  be  furnished.  This  elevator  delivers  the  grain  through  the  long  spout  into 
the  bin,  wagon,  or  sacks,  and  to  either  side  of  the  machine.  This  spout  can  be  adjusted  from 
the  lower  end  to  remain  in  the  position  in  which  it  is  placed.  A  cut-off  at  the  lower  end  stops 
the  flow  of  grain  while  changing  the  wagon. 

Folding  Rake  Stacker :  The  New  Racine  Jr.  can  be  equipped  with  an  18-foot  rake 
stacker,  which  can  be  easily  folded  for  transportation.  It  is  raised  or  lowered  by  means  of  a 
convenient  windlass  on  the  deck.  This  windlass  can  be  operated  from  the  ground  with  one 
hand.  The  rake  consists  of  rubber  belts  to  which  wood  slats  are  securely  riveted.  Canvas 
sides  to  prevent  the  straw  from  blowing  over  are  also  furnished  with  each  stacker. 

The  New  Racine  Jr.  Can  Be  Adapted  for  Pea  and  Bean  Threshing  ;  With  a  few 
changes  the  New  Racine  Jr.  can  be  used  for  threshing  peas  and  beans.  The  cylinder  speed  is 
reduced  one-half  and  special  pulleys,  concaves,  and  screens  are  used.  These  parts  are  fur- 
nished only  on  special  order  and  at  extra  cost. 

Clover  Attachment :  A  clover  attachment  consisting  of  three  special  concaves  each 
having  three  rows  of  corrugated  teeth,  also  a  special  clover  sieve,  are  furnished  on  special 
order  only  and  at  extra  cost.

New  Belle  City  Threshers 

Made  in  Three  Sizes :    New  Belle  City  threshers  are  made  in  3  sizes— 24x24",   24x32",    ^ 
and  32x40".     The  thresher  bodies  for  all  sizes  are  12  feet  long. 

A  Darn  Thresher :  The  New  Belle  City  can  be  used  for  barn  threshing  as  the  dimen- 
sions of  the  machine  are  favorable  to  indoor  work. 

Concave  Equipment,  Grate  and  Concave  Teeth :  The  New  Belle  City  thresher  is 
equipped  with  3  concaves — 2  with  teeth  and  1  blank — and  1  cast  grate.  They  are  very  effec- 
tive in  separating  the  grain  from  the  heaviest  straw.  They  fit  accurately  into  the  concave 
circles,  and  are  raised  or  lowered  by  a  ratchet  conveniently  placed  near  the  feeder.  The  filled 
concaves  have  two  rows  of  teeth.  The  blank  concaves  are  made  so  that  two  more  rows  of  teeth 
can  easily  be  inserted  if  desired.     Each  tooth  is  secured  by  a  lock  nut  and  spring-lock  washer. 

Cyhnder :  The  cylinder  has  a  diameter  of  18  inches  including  the  teeth.  It  is  impossible 
for  the  cylinder  to  work  loose  because  of  the  manner  of  securing  the  cylinder  heads  to  the 
shaft  by  lock  nuts. 

Cyhnder  Teeth  are  of  Tough  Steel :  The  teeth  are  arranged  in  12  rows,  and  properly 
spaced  to  do  the  best  work.  Made  of  carbon  steel,  they  are  very  tough  and  durable.  The 
teeth  pass  through  square  holes  in  the  cylinder  shell,  and  are  held  on  the  inside  by  nuts  and 
spring  lock  washers. 

Straw  Rakes  Give  a  Positive  Movement  to  the  Straw :  The  straw  rakes  fit  closely 
together  and,  when  the  machine  is  working,  the  entire  rake  portion  of  the  machine  is  in  motion. 
They  are  attached  at  the  front  end  of  the  machine  by  maple  boxes  to  a  crank  shaft  that  has  a 
separate  arm  for  each  rake.  The  crank  gives  a  separate  motion  to  each  rake,  so  that  an  up-  Jj 
ward  and  outward  motion  is  imparted  to  the  straw,  which  passes  out  in  a  thin,  even  layer, 
without  clogging  or  bunching. 

Conveyor  and  Extension  :  The  conveyor  consists  of  a  heavy  corrugated  galvanized  iron 
pan,  and  a  special  "No  Choke"  conveyor  sieve  built  the  full  width  of  the  machine.  The  pan, 
being  directly  under  the  cylinder  and  concaves  and  the  front  end  of  the  grain  board,  collects 
the  grain  as  it  falls  and  passes  it  on  to  the  conveyor  sieve.  The  possibility  of  overloading  the 
shoe  is  thus  forestalled,  the  cleaning  done  better,  and  the  capacity  of  the  thresher  increased. 

The  conveyor  extension  is  15  inches  long,  and  is  made  so  that  the  unthreshed  heads  of  grain 

drop  into  the  tailings 
auger,  whence  they 
are  once  more 
brought  to  the  cylin- 
der and  concaves. 

Shoe:  The  shoe 
is  of  the  end-shake 
pattern,  and  receives 
its  motion  from  two 
eccentrics  on  the  fan 
shaft,  to  which  it  is 
connected  by  two 
wooden  pitmans, 
one  for  each  side,  t 
Two  rods  hold  the  "' 
bottom  of  the  shoe, 
which  is  removable.

Short  Elevator  and  Bagger:  This 
attachment  can  be  used  in  place  of  the  long  grain 
elevator.  Where  it  is  not  desirable  to  place  the 
grain  directly  in  a  wagon  box,  it  is  found  very 
convenient.  The  bag  can  be  easily  clamped  on 
to  the  spout.  A  shut-off  lever  directly  over  the 
spout  enables  the  operator  to  change  the  course 
of  the  grain  from  one  bag  to  the  other — a  very 
saving  device,  as  it  prevents  loss  of  grain  when 
changing  the  bag. 

This  bagger  is  attached  to  the  left  side  and 
is  driven  directly  from  the  grain  auger  shaft  and 
consequently,  outside  chains  are  unnecessary. 
The  spout  section  is  so  hinged  that  it  can  be  eas- 
ily detached  when  moving. 


Right  and  Left  Grain  Delivery  Attach- 
ment: The  right  and  left  grain  delivery  attach- 
ment is  furnished  with  all  sizes  of  New  Belle 
City  threshers  when  the  regular  grain  delivery 
attachments  are  not  desired.  By  crossing  the 
belt  or  running  it  straight  the  grain  can  be  de- 
livered at  the  right  or  left.  This  is  of  great 
advantage  when   threshing  in  close   quarters. 


The  right  and  left  grain  delivery  attachment  is  very  convenient 

29 


Short  elevator  and  bagger 

The  thresher  can  be  set  as  close  to  the 
mow  as  desired  without  interfering  in  the 
least  with  the  grain  delivery. 

Folding  Rake  Stacker  is  Made  In 
Two  Sizes :  The  folding  rake  stacker  is 
made  in  18  and  24-foot  lengths,  and  the 
full  width  of  the  thresher.  It  is  raised  or 
lowered  by  a  windlass  over  the  rear  axle. 
The  straw  apron  consists  of  two  strong 
belts  to  which  wood  slats  are  riveted  12 
inches  apart. 


.■».  NEW  RACINE  AND  NEW  BELLE  CITy  THRESHERS  == 


Grain  Elevator  Delivers  to  Both  Sides  of  Machine 
as  Desired  :  The  grain  elevator  is  built  high  enough  so  that 
the  swinging  spout  can  deliver  grain  on  both  sides  of  the 
machine.  A  sprocket  chain  equipped  with  wooden  buckets 
and  lined  with  sheet  iron,  lifts  the  grain  to  the  spout.  When 
ordered  without  the  grain  elevator,  a  cast-iron  grain  box  is 
provided,  which  is,  in  fact,  the  lower  end  of  the  elevator. 

Sieve  Equipment:  The  "No  Choke"  sieves  used  in 
the  New  Belle  City  do  their  work  easily,  unaffected  by  differ- 
ent conditions  of  grain  and  straw.  Being  firmly  fixed,  they 
require  very  little  attention.  They  can  be  placed  in  different 
positions,  the  changes  being  made  from  the  outside  of  the 
shoe.  Each  machine  is  furnished  with  the  following  sieves:  1  "No  Choke"  oat  sieve;  1 
"No  Choke"  wheat,  barley,  and  rye  sieve;  1  perforated  zinc  wheat  sieve;  1  wire  flax  sieve, 
and  1  wire  shoe  screen.  The  sieves  have  a  length  of  38  inches  and  are  made  the  full  width  of 
the  body  of  the  machine.     Special  sieves  can  be  supplied. 

Grain  Register  and  Grain  Measure :  The  grain  register  is  very  conveniently  used 
when  only  the  grain  box  on  the  thresher  is  used.  This  device  is  accurate  and  easy  to  adjust. 
Light  and  durable  galvanized  half-bushel  grain  measures  can  be  furnished  at  a  nominal  cost. 

Regular  Thresher  Equipment :  New  Belle  City  threshers  are  regularly  equipped  for 
hand  feed.  A  folding  rake  stacker;  short  elevator  and  bagger;  and  grain  elevator  with  long 
swinging  spout,  are  furnished  when  specified  on  order.  The  attachments  ordered  with  the 
machine  govern  the  price  of  the  outfit. 

Threshes  Peas,  Beans,  and  Peanuts  Satisfactorily :  With  a  few  changes  and  extra 
attachments,  the  New  Belle  City  can  be  made  to  thresh  peas,  beans,  and  peanuts  in  a  highly 
satisfactory  manner. 

When  Ordering  :  Be  sure  to  state  clearly  what  size  of  machine  is  wanted,  cylinder  and 
gear,  also  the  speed  of  the  engine  and  size  of  the  engine  drive  pulley.  State  also  whether 
trucks,  18  or  24-foot  rake  stacker,  grain  elevator,  or  bagger  are  desired  with  the  machine. 

In  ordering  special  attachments  give  the  size  of  the  cylinder  with  the  number  of  the 
machine  which  will  be  found  on  the  front  end  directly  below  the  cylinder,  and  stamped  in  the 
front  end  of  the  main  sill.

Titan  Hopper-Cooled  Oil  Mounting  Engine 


Titan  Hopper-Cooled  Oil  Mounting  Engine 

Titan  hopper-cooled  oil  mounting  engines  are  designed  to  meet  the  demand  for  an  engine 
that  can  easily  be  mounted  on  a  farm  truck,  bob  sled,  or  skid,  making  a  portable  outfit,  or  in 
connection  with  any  special  machinery  such  as  well  drills,  concrete  mixers,  saw  rigs,  portable 
pumpmg  plants,  and  the  like.  These  engines  are  especially  adapted  for  such  work  on  account 
of  the  compactness  of  the  outfit,  their  moderate  weight,  and  the  small  amount  of  water 
required  for  cooling.  The  hopper-cooled  feature  also  does  away  with  much  of  the  danger  of 
the  cylinder  or  jacket  being  cracked  by  freezing,  because  the  hopper  is  open  at  the  top,  thus 
allowing  the  freezing  water  to  expand.     Hot  water  can  be  poured  in  to  facilitate  starting. 

The  engine  is  the  same  as  the  well-known  Titan  stationary  horizontal  hopper-cooled  oil 
engme,  except  that  the  engine  is  shipped  without  sub-base,  and  mounted  on  temporary  shipping 
skids.  It  is  regularly  fitted  for  operating  on  kerosene,  solar  oil,  gas  oil,  and  distillate  down  to 
39",  but  will  operate  etiually  well  on  gasoline,  benzine,  or  naphtha. 

Equipment— Titan  hopper-cooled  oil  mounting  engines  are  equipped  complete  for  run- 
ning with  the  following  accessories :  One  regular  size  pulley,  one  square  galvanized  fuel 
tank,  magneto,  one  muffler,  one  tool  box,  oil  can,  oil,  and  necessary  tools. 

Special  Accessories— Special  size  pulleys,  friction  clutch  pulleys,  etc.,  can  be  furnished 
on  special  order.

Titan  18-35  H.  P. 
Oil  Tractor 


Titan  18-35  H    P    Oil  Tractor  -  Pulley  side 


The  Titan  18-35  H.  P.  tractor  is  of  a  medium  size  with  many  new,  exclusive  features  that 
secure  special  advantages.  It  is  light  in  weight  for  its  power  without  sacrificing  drawbar 
power.     Piston  and  cylinder  are  enclosed  in  a  dust-tight  crank  case. 

For  road  work,  the  two-speed  transmission  and  automobile  steer  gives  it  a  decided 
advantage,  and  the  lighter  weight  permits  the  crossing  of  bridges  unsafe  for  heavier  tractors. 
The  speed  regulator  is  controlled  by  a  crank  in  the  cab. 

A  self-starting  device  consisting  of  a  complete  •■4  H.  P.  gasoline  engine  and  air-compressor 
power  plant,  and  an  air-starting  system  makes  turning  the  engine  over  by  hand  unnecessary. 

The  tractor  operates  on  kerosene,  distillate,  solar  oil,  gas  oil.  motor  spirits,  naphtha 
or  gasoline. 

Equipment :  Completely  equipped  ready  to  run  including  friction  clutch  pulley,  batteries, 
magneto,  front  wheel  extensions,  oil  can,  can  of  lubricating  oil,  and  necessary  tools. 

Special  Accessories :  Kerosene  headlight,  acetylene  headlight,  special  size  pulleys, 
and  10-inch  rear  wheel  extensions  can  be  furnished  at  extra  cost.
